I was thinking about how great a Lovecraft Mod for DF would be.
If you guys would not have already started one I would had to learn how to mod for this

Are you still working on this?

Regarding shoggots. I thought it would be nice if one shoggoth was not just one unit but rather many more small ones, thus resembling their flexibility in form. Imagine a long vein of shoggoth slime wandering through your halls, spreading into rooms, seperating, merging again etc.

[kilakan]

so what, smallish, two or one body part creatures that come in groups of 100+?

[TheCze]

Yeah exactly like that (though 100+ might be a bit much)

Also have you thought about making some Civilizations playable? I got my idea for a Lovecraft DF mod while listening to Mountains of Madness and hearing about this huge city and alle the nice engravings there
Playing them, the Great Race of Yith or Fishmen (sorry - Deep Ones) or having them at least at civilizations would be great.

Mi-Go as player civ would be most fitting because they also live in the mountains ("Bizap Neto has created a legendary brain cylinder").

I don't know that much about modding DF but I think something like the colour out of space that has been suggested before would be more fitting once we have poisons in the next version.

Also is it possible to have creatures spread cold? Having Ithaqua coming to your fort and freezing all your water sources on his way would be nice

[TheCze]

So are you planning on keeping this updated once the new version arrives?

[Servant Corps]

Will this thing be done? I got inspired to go back to the mini-mod "Call of the Elder Ones" after hearing about the new PARANOIA Internal Security supplement, and I want to know if I should continue or not.
